Carry me, carry me, yeah
Carry me above the world
Carry me, carry me, carry me
And I once loved a girl
She was younger than me
Her parents kept her
Locked up in their life
She was crying at night
She was wishing she could be free
Course mostly
I remember her laughing
Standing there watching us play
For a while there
The music would take her away
And she'd be singing
Carry me, carry me, yeah
Carry me above this world
Carry me, carry me
Carry me above the world
And then there was my mother
She was lying in white sheets there
And she was waiting to die
She said if you'd just
Reach underneath this bed
And untie these weights
I could surely fly
She's still smiling but she's tired
She'd like to hear that last bell ring
You know if she still could, she would
Stand up and she could sing
Carry me, carry me
Carry me above the world
Carry me, ooh, carry me, yeah
